offers employer-sponsored healthcare coverage. Juan is a naturalized citizen and
has contributed to the Medicare system for over 20 years. Juan asks you if he will
be entitled to Medicare and if he enrolls how that will impact his employersponsored healthcare coverage. How would you respond? Juan is likely to be

continue to offer him coverage comparable to those under age 65 under its
employer-sponsored group health plan.

coinsurance in Original Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicare as well as possibly some
services that Medicare does not cover.

is covered under her employer plan, but she will have a special eight-month
enrollment period after the last month on her employer plan that differs from the
